Re: At what point did you just say "Fuck it" and quit your job? [Re: Repertoire89]

Worked as a bartender in a bar - it was a mix of college bar and ghetto - the food was actually great, and we had a solid cult following around the campus that we were just off of. We had an already bloodied baseball bat that sat menacingly in the corner, and I had been followed home by a few drunk guys after closing and my boss no longer let me walk home on my own. This would've been okay but the kitchen staff and my managers were just as bad as the drunk ass patrons. We actually had a policy not to card unless my manager gave me a specific 'signal'.

I was like 20 years old, going to school, and working another job, and just incredibly sick of being creeped on, sick of being harassed and verbally abused by customers, and staring at the bloody baseball bat that my boss strategically placed right next to the register just in case some dumbass came in and tried to rob us(again?), though he loved to joke about it too. My coworker ended up shot in the stomach, but that was a separate incident in a different part of town, I had gotten robbed at gunpoint recently and idk, there was just a lot going on in my life and eventually I said 'fuck it' and never went back to that miserable place.

i fell in love with the married woman working next to me,  it was my birthday. she brought me a cupcake.

i struggle with my birthdays already, but seeing this beautiful woman in this shitty place and her smile felt so good. i dont know what happened inside of me, i worked inside of a loud factory, but for some reason everything seemed silent. i felt more empty than usual..

but i asked her...what if i left here today and you never seen me again?

she smiled at me and reassuringly said "i know where you live"

so before i left i just kind of stood near her silently for a second, i felt as if i was in a movie or something, like everything was about to fall into place and work itself out.

i just walked away from my machines as they ran, left her cupcake. and walked home through the night.


its been 2 months, and have yet to see her at my doorstep.

9 years at the place.  Hardest set in the building.  Once extremely regular in my appearances, the regularity dis-solved in my alcohol like a laudanum cocktail.  Woke up in psychosis again, thinking i had to deliver food to the hamburger lady by the bowling alley and two others for my other job at three in the morn.  By the time i came to my senses, i would have already been late so i re-treated to snuggle the pillows.  Next day; gung ho to go in.  Set three or four alarms.  Blow right on past them and the boss' calls and sleep twelve hours, awaking in a pool ov sweat.  Next day i requested off to go see Diamanda perform.  I walked the streets ov Harlem before the show all faggy like in lipstick and a bag and wondered into an all-black bar to wander the question ov whether i should quit or not.  In betwixt drinks the sweet ebony tender was serving me, i decided to text my job ov nine years away at 5:02pm.  I then proceeded to the church for the show, seeing Hecate upon earth work her majick with keys and larynx.  And that's that like a dead cat.

I very nearly hit this point today. In fact that point may become reality on Monday.

I already work 45-ish hours a week. Today a higher up (douche bag fucker, I never liked him from day one) called me and said, "just wanted to tell you that we're going to add another 10 hours to your work week, just wanted to let you know". 2 hours more per day on top of my already 9 hour per day.

I just flat out said no. He then replied "I'm not asking you". I said no again. Told him I work enough as is and I'm fine with my current work load. I think he was a little stunned at this point. Then he said, "well we'll see on Monday". I was like, "what does that mean?", and he said "we'll revisit this again on Monday", and hung up.

All I do is eat, work, and sleep as it is. I don't care about the extra money.

If he issues an ultimatum on Monday then I'm fully prepared to say, "okay bye".



I've already targeted late September as the end of this job for me, so this would in effect just speed up the process.

If you're likely quitting Monday you have all weekend to come up with a really awesome way to do it. I expect the story Monday night. Go get a fake suit from a stripper store and put on beach clothes underneath it, rip it off and put on some sunglasses, then tell him to deal with it in the middle of his speech and walk the fuck out. :loldongs:


--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Fuck it. I can feel it in my body when I get angry at work now. Like adrenaline rushing through me. I'm not putting up with customer's and co-worker's shit anymore for the sake of keeping this job that I absolutely despise anyway. I've been getting into minor feuds and arguments with customers lately and I can already see it coming... me quitting because I reach the point where I can't take it anymore (I don't want to snap at work and whup someone's ass) or they just fire me.

Honestly, if you do quit monday, good for you - just try to be professional and not totally burn the bridge. I've let jobs flat out rail road me and have put in so much blood, sweat, and tears for work I was passionate about but my employer took advantage of that willingness to do a lot of work for not nearly enough pay. Now that I'm older and wiser I refuse to subscribe to that lifestyle anymore or undersell my capabilities as an employee and apart of that is standing my ground and saying no.

Sometimes people have no choice and the stakes are too great to risk unemployment and there are better paths to take, but if you're not supporting kids, then I don't blame you. I've gotten caught up in cycles where all I do is work, and I'm kinda in one now, and if you're not loving every second of it(and I have before) then what is it all for? The money that you never get any opportunity to spend doing all the cool shit that you never have time for?

I just said fuck it and quit my job a couple days ago. Wasnt enjoying it and it was just ahold over gig anyways. What was funny was I did it while they were being all super serious and talking to me about some minor thing I messed up on. Which in my defense they never informed me of. I cut him off mid sentence and said I quit, quietly, deadpan. He was kind of flabergasted. I got up and handed him all my shit before they really had time to react. It was beautiful.

Now Im just gonna kick it at home and pump out furniture pieces, already got a really nice table Im working on all laid out and ready to go. Should complete it in a couple days time. Its a work of art, its immediately useful and theres absolutely no restraints on me. Fuck yeah.

Yeah exactly. I really wanted to survive the job until late September (I got a vacation coming up then that's already booked), and I figured that would be as good as time as any to part ways and close this chapter, but making it til then is looking pretty iffy at this point.

I really shouldn't burn the bridge, your're right, and I hope I'm mature enough not to. But my maturity has never been a strong point to say the least and I got a pretty short fuse for this dude -- the guy is a real cocky motherfucker and I was about a millimeter from telling him to go fuck his self after he told me that "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you" shit today.

I'm gonna sound like I'm borderline breaking my arm patting myself on the back here but I've been a model employee for them since day 1. I've never called in sick -- not even once, and I bust my ass every day and get my shit done. I don't bother them. I just show up, knock my shit out every single day, and clock out. And it's not like I work limited hours. I total over 40 plus easy every single week. And for him to drop that shit on me out the blue like that, idk, if he sticks to his guns then that's the last straw I'm afraid.
